Danish Pine Chest of Drawers, Mid-19th Century

$1,295.00

Denmark, circa 1850-1880

A mid-19th century Danish provincial pine chest of drawers, dating to circa 1850-1880.

Constructed in solid pine, the case is fitted with two short drawers over three full-width drawers, each retaining its original turned wooden knobs and working key escutcheons. The moulded overhanging top sits above a cleanly graduated drawer arrangement, raised on a chamfered plinth base.

Interior inspection reveals traditional hand-cut dovetail joinery and drawer bottoms set into grooves—construction techniques typical of rural Scandinavian cabinetmaking of the period.

The softly timeworn surface bears the marks of over a century of use, with scattered characterful wear throughout, lending warmth and authenticity to the scrubbed pine finish.

Because every good room needs a past.
